In an effort to be transparent, Gage is contemplating this call to action and re-working how to best support Indigenous communities. We encourage everyone here today to ask themselves: what can I do to support Indigenous communities? We also acknowledge Native peoples are survivors, present in today’s world, thriving. In doing so, we will be honest, and recognize the experiences of Native peoples to include genocide, forced relocation, forced assimilation, and land theft. We commit to learning, educating others and repairing the legacy of historically harmful relationships between non-Native and Native peoples in King County. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have called this territory their sacred land. Handwritten sketches for the Credo of the Missa solemnis and the canon Hoffmann, sei ja kein Hofmann. We honor the Coast Salish Peoples’ sovereignty, rights to self-determination, culture and ways of life. Sketchbook - Ludwig van Beethoven - Google Arts & Culture. We understand the land that Gage occupies is unceded territory and that today many Indigenous peoples live here and without their stewardship, we would not have access to this space. Gage Academy of Art acknowledges the Coast Salish Peoples as the original inhabitants of this area and connecting waterways.
